OSIRIS-REx Meets Bennu’s Surprises

The OSIRIS-REx team has already pushed the boundaries of scientific exploration — going from ground-based radar images from Arecibo in Puerto Rico all the way to orbiting a few hundred meters from asteroid Bennu. The team is mere days away from a sample collection attempt at the asteroid surface. Before this attempt, we take a look back at some of the major achievements, surprises and challenges of sampling an asteroid with OSIRIS-REx. https://www.nasa.gov/osiris-rex Video credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center James Tralie (ADNET): Lead Producer Lead Editor Animator Narrator Aaron E.
